@ orthodox -- yeah, i know was just trying to be funny. But that was off topic! So to stay on topic -- it takes Reason 12 on my computer 18 seconds to load. And that is not with "license update" , so I guess with it (because I just did that this morning)... it would be around 30 seconds.

Reason 12, Ableton Live 10 Suite, Roland Cloud, Arturia V9, Korg Legacy 3, Soundtoys 5, Waves Mercury, Sonic Charge Bundle, N.I.: Massive, Reaktor 6, FM8. + a lot of Hardware. Windows 7/10.

I should add I don't miss having to find an empty reel of tape and thread it up and then wind to an empty spot and hope there was enough time left for another song (after powering on all the studio gear). Or if I have an idea for a drum track, I don't miss dragging the drums into the studio, setting them up, then spending another few hours getting sounds fine tuned. Or many other scenarios that do not compare favorably to working with software!
To sum things up, I am not willing to trade a few seconds launch time for the current feature set we have today…and anyone who wants a 5 sec launch time can get it by running an older version of Reason!
(for the record it takes me 15 seconds from the desktop, but only 10-11 seconds from the log in screen, exactly the same as it has for the past 4-5 versions IIRC)

Takes about 15-30 seconds after login for me. The few Waves plugins I have seem to be the hold up in my case.
I’m really not bothered by it though.

Is that still a thing?
I vaguely remember I did it once years ago and then promptly found reason to wipe that system and start over.
And I forgot to un-authorize the "machine" first and couldn't authorize the "new" machine once the system reinstall finished.
Is there something I can do all these years later to climb out of that hole I dug under myself?
I bet there's a support page and I'm just too lazy to go look for it.

I think you mark the computer lost but you may have to make a support ticket... it was easy when it happened to me long ago... don't quite remember the steps I took.integerpoet wrote: ↑13 Jan 2022Is that still a thing?

don't worry if you can't remember the idea after Reason is finally loaded it wasn't good enough anywayLoque wrote: ↑12 Jan 2022Do you remember the time, when you had an idea and quickly wanted to give it a try in Reason? You clicked the icon and bam, Reason was there.
Now...
* After 20secs i realize that i need to click "Login"...ok, my bad, that i need to click that stuff...isnt it?
* Uhhh...another daily license update. Yea, another 60secs to wait if the connection works...
* Cool, now lets run....nope, there is some crappy VST which needs to be rescanned...another 60secs
* Now, now, i can work...nope...just give it a few secs more until everything is ready
Ok. Clicked the icon, waited for more than 2 minutes, forgot the idea, closed Reason. Thanks.
I hope this will be better in future

I understand the frustration.
When you want to capture a creative thought before it sails off to the sunset, every second counts!
Apart from the start-up time, Reason is brilliant at quickly getting to the tools to capture new ideas.
I use Reaper for my main DAW now, and on one hand it is lightning quick launch (even with dozens of VSTs), but after it has started, it's not as swift to capture ideas as Reason.
Starting up the first Reason Rack Plug-in is a turn off. After the first though, additional RRP instances are quick to load.
This is also where it's good to have a hardware synth, that you can turn on and quickly try out ideas. No sluggishness, unexpected delays due to user registration, internet outages, i/o competing with virus scanning, unexpected system updates etc. (Although my analog synths do have warm up phases- so I leave em on!)

I was curious how Reason's start up time compared to the other two DAWs I use most often.
Reason, from clicking the icon on the start menu until I can click devices in the browser: 7.4 seconds.
Studio One, from clicking the icon until I can click New Song: 11.2 seconds
Reaper, from clicking the icon until my default template loads: 8.2 seconds
I imagine everyone else's results would vary widely, even for these same programs. I have Reason set to not require me to log in, and it starts with a completely empty song. Studio One is currently scanning 844 plugins at start, and then listing all the stuff its doing. My default Reaper template has two plugins on the master bus, and eight more on the Monitor FX listen bus. But this is how I use the programs every time I start them.
Reason seems like it takes longer, but I think that's because there's no progress bar. Just the splash screen sitting there, and then instantly dropping into the full program. But also Studio One really does seem like it takes forever, even though it's constantly updating me with details. Reaper feels quick, its splash screen shows first, and then stays over the program window telling me the plug-ins that are being loaded, then when it disappears the program is ready to use.

For me its:
After a reboot:
Reason (version 11) - 27 seconds
Reaper - 8 seconds
And thereafter:
Reason - 18 seconds
Reaper - 3.3 seconds
A couple of Studio One startup tips:
You can disable plug-in scanning at startup in "options - locations - VST plugins". It makes a huge difference, especially if you have a lot of VSTs.
You can disable services you never use in "options - advanced - services". You can turn off any or all of VST2, VST3, Rewire, ARA, CD Burning, Windows Audio and others. Not really sure how much difference this one makes but the startup page is cleaner.
My S1 starts in about half the time of Reason but it's still only a matter of seconds for both. It's not something that stresses me out. I'd like the option to turn off the Reason splash screen on the plugin version though. I'd also like the ability to skip the Start page in Studio One and go straight to a default template!
Anyway, back on topic. For me there are two irritations with Reason startup time. Periodically and with no apparent cause it complains about licences and I have to Sync All again, even though I have not changed anything about the REs. No demos, rentals etc. I also sometimes see it scanning VSTs as if something has changed or been added but nothing has. These two are both bugs that did not happen in V10 (I'm on V11) and they both dramatically slow down the loading time.
I'm using a computer from 2016 with an Intel i5-6400 CPU, 8GB RAM and Windows 10 - just meeting the recommended requirements to run the software.
Reason 12.2.3 starts in 11.5 seconds. The first versions of Reason 12 were a lot slower as I remember.
Ableton 10 starts in about 30 seconds, usually longer.

Loading times
Awesome!
The speedloader was such a breakthrough!
I remember Impossible Mission used to take 20 minutes to load from the tape drive. It was a 50 kb load! And that was with your fingers crossed that the Commodore 64 tape drive heads hadn't slipped out of alignment, causing the load to fail part way through
Of course at the end, it was all worth it. The C64 rocks!
Thanks a bunch reason won't scan for re,s in the name of speed, I need reason to scan re s
